Pleterski Brinjevec - Pleterje juniper brandy

Amazing juniper schnapps from Slovenia

‘Before the elder, you should take off your hat; before the juniper, you should kneel down.’

In Norse mythology, potions made from juniper berries were said to give people clairvoyant abilities. In natural medicine, juniper has always been considered a health-promoting and healing plant.

The schnapps owes its intense aroma and natural freshness to the monastery's own juniper, the selection of the best raw materials and an exemplary distillation technique. The juniper is wonderfully present in both the aroma and the taste.

Pleterje Brinjevec is actually a juniper brandy and not a juniper spirit. This is where it differs from gin, which is not distilled from juniper berries but only flavoured with them.

This powerful and highly aromatic spirit from Slovenia is something very special.

It is best enjoyed pure and well chilled.
